To determine which photographer is less expensive for a 5-hour photo shoot, we can calculate the total cost for each photographer.
Photographer 1
Photographer 1 charges:
- A base fee of $100
- An hourly rate of $75 per hour
For a 5-hour photo shoot, the total cost can be calculated as follows:
\[ \text{Total Cost} = \text{Base Fee} + (\text{Hourly Rate} \times \text{Number of Hours}) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 100 + (75 \times 5) \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 100 + 375 \] \[ \text{Total Cost} = 475 \]
Thus, the total cost for Photographer 1 for a 5-hour shoot is $475.
Photographer 2
Photographer 2's prices are given in the table, and we can see the costs for each hour:
- For 1 hour: $125
- For 2 hours: $250
- For 3 hours: $375
- For 4 hours: The pattern indicates an increase of $125 per hour, so for 4 hours, it would be: \[ 4 \times 125 = 500 \]
- For 5 hours: Continuing the pattern, we can find that: \[ 5 \times 125 = 625 \]
Thus, for a 5-hour photo shoot, the total cost for Photographer 2 is $625.
Conclusion
Now we can compare the two costs:
- Cost of Photographer 1 for 5 hours: $475
- Cost of Photographer 2 for 5 hours: $625
To find out how much less expensive Photographer 1 is than Photographer 2:
\[ \text{Difference} = 625 - 475 = 150 \]
So, Photographer 1 is $150 less expensive than Photographer 2 for a 5-hour photo shoot.
